UFC 291 Results: Kevin Holland stops Michael Chiesa in Round 1 (Video)

We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC 291 results, including the welterweight bout between Kevin Holland and Michael Chiesa.

Holland (24-9 MMA) was last seen in action at April’s UFC 287 event in Miami, where he scored a stunning knockout victory over Santiago Ponzinibbio. That KO returned ‘Trailblazer’ to the win column, as he had previously suffered back-to-back losses to Stephen Thompson and Khamzat Chimaev respectively.

Meanwhile, Michael Chiesa (18-6 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since suffering a decision loss to Sean Brady in November of 2021. Prior to that setback, ‘Maverick’ was coming off a first-round submission loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 265.
